CAARC 2024 Field Day
Apr 28th
Be Radio Active – Attend CAARC Field Day June 22nd – 23rd
Your CAARC executive is currently conducting extensive planning for ARRL Field Day operations.
We invite all CAARC members and interested parties to attend and participate.
CAARC plans to have two (2) fully operational HF stations and a VHF station dedicated for this ARRL contest.
The venue location is excellent, within a short drive from Red Deer and has onsite camping and facilities available.
In the near future, we will be sending each of you an operation sign up schedule request to coordinate RF operations.
Thank you for your continued support of CAARC.
We look forward to seeing you at this event.

World Amateur Radio Day, April 18, 2024
Apr 1st
Have you ever wanted to operate one of the Radio Amateurs of Canada callsigns, well now may be your chance. World Amateur Radio Day takes place April 18, 2024, and I am looking for volunteers to operate VE6RAC. You’re welcome to operate for the full 24h duration but, even if you can only manage a 2-4h slot, I want to hear from you.
The stipulations to operate VE6RAC are as follows:
- Be a paid up member of Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC)
- Be able to submit a log of contacts made, so RAC can send QSL cards.
There’s no restriction on band or mode.
Interested? Then reach out to me dir.alberta.northwest.nunavut@rac.ca
